Workplace
Saving Banana Man
I had never dreamed of becoming a social worker. My mum, and a host of aunts, uncles and cousins were all happiest in front of the classroom. Being a teacher was in my blood. I had always escaped the tension and sorrow at home by retreating to my bedroom and diving deep into school projects.

Never Meant to Be Sent: Angry Letter to My Old Boss. Top Story - December 2021.
Dear -----, It's been more than a year since I worked for you. I spent three years of my life under your nose. I'm still angry at you. I decided writing a letter that you'll never read might help me to get over you.

My Airbnb Guests
"to all the writers of experiences - you are free to create the experience you wish more of." They say, "every person is an experience" but then the rationale dictates. Every experience is not desirable. And by that logic, every person is not desirable especially if it’s your family.

My Struggle with Success
The day I turned sixteen, I learned a terrible truth about myself that would haunt every decision I would make for the rest of my life. I don't know what made me turn out this way. Certainly not my tireless parents, a lack of education, or opportunity, but no matter the reason, I learned that I was doomed to work for myself.

How a Trauma Death Can Turn Doctors into Better Surgeons
This article was previously authored by Dr. James Goydos and published on Medika Life May 2021. On a Friday night in the Fall of 1992, I was the fifth-year Chief Surgical Resident on call at a level-one trauma center in central Connecticut. This meant that, other than the in-house cardiac surgical attending, I was the head surgeon in the hospital at the time. At approximately 11:00 PM that evening we received a trauma alert with the victim arriving in the ER within the next 10 minutes.

Delivery Driver Confessional vol. 1
Delivering you see all kinds of crazy things. See people on the streets doing wacky dances for themselves. See things being delivered that shouldn't be ordered through a delivery service. I’ve seen the same person asleep for 3 days straight on the side of the road. Today I want to tell you a story that you might not realize could be a story. This is my Delivery Driver Confessional.

Karen Vasquez Paralegal
I’ve had just about every job title you can imagine. Although as a child, I wanted to be a lawyer I never took it beyond a wish. God has granted me nearly every childhood wish. As soon as I get my hands on a law book, all of my childhood wishes will have been granted. There is truth to the saying, “make a wish”. God has been with me every step of the way. Wishes I never told anyone have been granted, like making soap at home with my son. I saw a commercial years ago of someone making soap with her son and I thought that would be nice. Never told anyone, not even my son and years later we are making soap! Check out my Online Botanica Natural Wellness Shop on Facebook! Nothing is for sale. I share Science, Nature and the word of God on that page and I am quite proud in how it has grown! God has been waiting on me to surrender and as of February 2021, I did. My blessings began immediately, though quite painful I am proud of myself and my children during this process. I had to remove myself from so many people I thought loved me. They actually hated me, why? Their unhandled trauma that’s why. With the grace of God I am now able to share my story. I have some funny stories to tell so I am ready to rock and roll! Storytelling time!

Office Romance
I am sure this has happened to everyone.. An office romance?.. No No. Don’t do it! This is goes for any kind of job in that matter. The reason I do not recommend and believe me I’ve had my share. We actually have a Pocast episode entitled, Flames with No Names dedicated to this topic on The Vibe Podcast available on many platforms, you’ll see my mug! (Plug) But the reason I do not recommend is because although we spend more time with our co-workers than what we do with our own families, we truly do not know whom we are dealing with. Remember your co-worker is just a suit/unfiform and name tag, once they clock out and go home that’s the person whom you’re really dealing with. And in my journey the revelations uncovered have been quite disturbing to say the least. I’m sure there have been office romances that have worked out but my belief is more often than not these romances have not worked out. I have been in situations where someone I thought I knew because we worked together for X amount of time completely stabbed me on the back! Definitely not worth my time to ever do it again. The workplace runs very much like a high school. You have your clicks, the gossipers, the rude managers. Same shit different toilet someone once said. I’d also be very careful of the so called friends at the workplace. We had a little crew at my previous job Cell Block 8 (Section 8) and as soon as one person got promoted to being my Supervisor, he thought it was pick on Diana time like everyone else.. he thought wrong. You just don’t really know who your co-workers are and much like high school, you have a lot of fakers at the workplace. I wouldn’t invest my time in something like that ever again. These kinds of relationships could be haunting and daunting. They can drain the life outta you, I don’t care how fine he is. Not even for a bootycall as those could be trouble as well. I say when it comes to the office romance, just don’t do it. You will avoid trouble trust there is a whole world out there. You do not want to bang someone you see for eight hours a day, five days a week. You want to miss your partner and have some of the wildest sex you’ve ever had because you miss each other that much. Now that’s hot, I personally I enjoy my alone time. There is no better sex than the “I miss you type of sex” Healthy space in a healthy relationship is a recipe for success and also hot sex. Trust that is a lot more fun, regardless of what the clicks at high school say, I mean co-workers. It’s shocking how adults really behave so immaturely at the work place. I wonder what is up with their home life that they need to be in a clicky environment. I Aries, am a lone wolf and I am happy I get to roam free. I lead never follow and I wish more females were like this. I see chicks being used or following each other like a flock of chickens and I think to myself I must do better, for the sake of my children. Especially since I have a daughter. I want her to be independent and definitely not a follower. Thank you for reading and enjoy The Vibe, The Office Romance Vibes, remember just don’t do it! No matter what they say, it’s just not worth it.
